I talked to him again about crying. Told him I'd been crying all week, but because of birth control pills (go figure!). I told him I'd be touched if he cried, but if he sobbed I'd be overwhelmed. He said it's because my emotions are numb at this point (duh!) and I don't know how to react to displays of emotion. He told me he would try not to cry. Now I feel bad because I almost want to see him cry. I'm certain I do want to see him cry. Not just out of curiousity, or to make sure "he cares about me", but also to validate the fact that it is ok to cry. Why do I always have to open my big mouth? Oh well, guess I can't have it both ways.. Maybe if I start crying, he'll follow suit. He already told me he's a crybaby. He said he cries during commercials. He said his daughter asked him once during a commercial, "Daddy, is that Baby Jesus?" and he started crying. He sounds like a perfect daddy, doesn't he?
